As for some people being allowed to marry and others are not? I'm still trying to figure out how committing to your partner, building a life together based on love and trust, and maybe raising a family, jeopardizes the family "ideal" when that is precisely what the family ideal IS.

With all of my joking around, I want you to know that you are an astute and incisive social critic, and you write beautifully and powerfully. As Ali B. said, you are right on--as you are so many times. Thanks. Posts like these make it very worthwhile to read your blog.

And this is no different. You express thoughts so well, Vikki. I'm so sorry about how your mom reacted. Burning her dress? And smashing the glasses. You must have felt so sad. I wish she would have been supportive. But, one thing is for certain: your kids will know unconditional love and support. You can be so proud of that! If the government says yes or decides to take back things, at least your kids will know they have you and Luisa right there behind them. That is such a gift!

Our society does hold up marriage as the happy ending, but I'm convinced that this accounts for our high divorce rate. Marriage is not any kind of ending at all. Right on. About you guys, your kids, all of our kids. About your mom’s dress and glasses: wow.
